BAD PARENTS Opens in Ridgewood Tonight; Reiko Aylesworth and More to Appear at Red Carpet Event

I'm That Parent! Ridgewood Filmmaker Caytha Jentis's film, Bad Parents, is a satirical comedy inspired by her own experiences in North Jersey about the over-zealous parents on an under 8 girls club soccer team. It takes a poke at the world of over-obsessed parents in soccer, though the theme is so Universal that any parent of a child athlete may realize "I'm That Parent!"
